Supercomputing takes classroom architecture simulations to new heights
High performance computing enables Kent State students to render complex simulations more quickly, spending less time in the classroom waiting and more time learning.
Leveraging supercomputers in chemistry instruction at Mount Vernon Nazarene
Luiz Oliveira's undergraduate students use OSC's resources to explore the complex interactions of biomolecules and nanomaterials.
Capturing molecular motors in action with high performance computing
Krishna Chinthalapudi's research into molecular motors requires the processing of large amounts of data. He and his team turn to the Ohio Supercomputer Center to turn days of computation into minutes.
Remembering Charles 'Chuck' Csuri
The Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) and the Ohio Technology Consortium (OH-TECH) are saddened to learn of the passing of Charles Csuri, the "father of computer art." Chuck, as he was known, was a true pioneer with a remarkable talent for interdisciplinary work and a significant contributor to the creation and success of OSC and all that followed.
Promoting infrastructure integrity in pipelines
OSC upgrades data storage and backup capacity
The Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC) recently upgraded two services to allow clients to store more data at a faster rate and strengthen data backup.
Testing greener tractor-trailers
TotalSim US, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) consulting and solutions firm based in Dublin, Ohio, is helping the state of California certify fuel efficient and environmentally friendly tractor-trailers using resources provided by the Ohio Supercomputer Center (OSC).
Equalizing access to supercomputers
Although many college students have access to a personal computer for their studies, it can be challenging for them to learn about how modern, complex computing systems are used in the science, engineering and technology fields without working with the systems directly.
Incorporating supercomputing into drug research
Xia Ning has a large portfolio of research projects at The Ohio State University that focus on understanding how artificial intelligence can be used to solve issues in health care.
Preserving pollinator communities through simulations
With a focus on plant and pollinator species, Colin Campbell, associate professor of physics at the University of Mount Union, studies how these groups interact with one another. Some interactions are mutualistic, where both species benefit, but other interactions are only beneficial for one species. The net effect of many interactions can result in stable or unstable communities, which can be modeled as networks.
